It's a special day. Pikinis, an app that syncs with your Facebook friends list and allows you to search exclusively for bikini pics, is now available for download. According to the app's creator, Ted Kramer, Pikinis is for both men and women who want to see those they desire is a state…

Year after year we see the same triangle, bandeau and halter bikinis packing the beach and laying poolside. I appreciate a classic bathing suit, but really? Isn’t it time for a change? Try mixing it up this year with one of these new bikini shapes. Although, don’t say I didn’t warn you about the fa…

A collective groan from adolescent males can be heard ‘round the globe! The Miss World beauty pageant announced yesterday that there will be no bikinis worn in their 2013 pageant in Indonesia this September. Said the pageant organizer: “It has been misunderstood by some people that Miss World is a beauty competition focusing on the…

To tell you the truth, I don't really give a shit that Gwyneth Paltrow is selling bikinis for little girls through her website, GOOP. Gwyneth Paltrow is also the person who suggested your spring wardrobe could use a $1,615 black skirt. She's not really the arbiter of sensibility or good taste, no matter…

Sure, teeny bikinis are sexy, but they're very likely to leave you with a nip slip situation the very second a wave hits. Yet, celebs keep on wearing them to the beach, and getting photographed with exposed nip. Will they ever learn? Probably not. But their choice of swimwear has provided us with lunch time…

I don’t want to write about bikinis. I want to write about the amazing blue cheese dressing I made with buttermilk! (For some reason, I think buttermilk is the coolest thing ever.) And the pizza I found myself absentmindedly dipping in it until I’d eaten a whole piece like that. I want to write about…

I don't know about you, but my bikini body doesn't look anything like the ones on the cover of In Touch ... unless we're talking about one of those "Pregnant Or Ate A Burrito?!" articles. Let's be real: no one other than Kim Kardashian (and her team of makeup artists, hairstylists and spray tanners) look…

Summer is here and while we couldn't be more excited about long weekends at the beach, the thought of getting into a swimsuit can be decidedly less appealing. Whether it's pasty skin that isn't ready for public exposure, or a New Year's resolution of getting to the gym every day that didn't quite happen, we…

I don't know about you, but being out in the sun for long stretches of time makes me very, very hungry. I would happily consider wearing a bikini that would both protect me from the sun and from hunger. So what if I can't wear it while I swim? At least I won't have to…

You guys, I simply cannot stay silent for a moment longer. The cost of swimwear is too damn high! It's. Too. Damn. High. I'm going to Mexico in a month so I've been on the hunt for a new bikini to bring with me and wear basically 24/7 while I'm there. But I am seriously appalled by how much…

Since Katy Perry and Lady Gaga have outshone her of late in the alien-esque fashion, Crayola-colored hair department, it appears that Rihanna has decided to go a little bit country. While shooting a new video for "We Found Love" in Ireland, it appears that RiRi has fashioned herself a bikini out of…

RyanAir, the cheap-o European airline, has released its fourth calendar of ladies from its cabin crew frolicking on a tropical beach in bikinis. Proceeds from the 2011 RyanAir calendar, which costs $14, will be donated to a German kids' charity. While, personally, I don't care if women want to pose in bikinis for…

Behold, this week's People magazine. On the cover, Kate Gosselin pulls a Kim Kardashian and dons nothing but a white bikini. After getting a tummy tuck, going on "Dancing with the Stars," and getting into running, she says that, at 35, "this is the most fit I've ever been. I've worked really…

I don't know? What do you say about something like this? A woman in a bikini top made out of plastic hands over her breasts? Heavy has compiled a list of the top 20 worst bathing suits, but I am going to have to declare this one the winner. It's just ... horrifying.

Ugh, put this as Exhibit A in your "Objectification of Women" file: a commercial for Russian airline Avianova where sexy stewardesses strip down to bikinis on the tarmac, scrub down an airplane and suggestively drip soap suds all over their boobs. The kitschy scooby-dee-dooby-doo soundtrack is the only thing that doesn't make…

For most people, the main goal when dressing for the beach is being able to disrobe easily and quickly so precious moments in the sun and water aren't lost. But there are a few women, like Kelly Rowland and Mexican singer/actress Paulina Rubio, who go beyond the simple swimsuit cover-up, romper, or sli…

Liberty of London must know that Americans are having a full-on love affair with the oh-so-British brand. The designs, which made a big stateside impression this year thanks to a genius Target collaboration and a Mac makeup deal, are now available as swimwear at Neiman Marcus. The selection is small but well-rounded…

American "actress" and Playboy Playmate Shauna Sand manages to cram a number of trends--the iPhone, trucker cap, lucite stripper heels, animal prints and the it bag--all into one teensy weensy beach outfit. So multi-tasky! [Miami, 3/31/10]…

"You can't blame the locals; they have never seen such women. Foreign tourists must maintain a certain degree of modesty in their clothing. Walking on the beaches half-naked is bound to titillate the senses."— Pamela Mascarhenas, deputy director of tourism of Goa in India, after the alleged sexual assault of a 9-year-old Russian girl there…

Simply Irresistible

As you slog your way through the myriad not-yet-April Fools' Day pranks that plague this nation, revel in this: no one has ever pranked someone better than Michael Jackson pranked Russell Crowe, and he did it for years. In an interview with The Guardian, Crowe revealed that despite having never met Jackson,…
